As written above, of course it's a travel by rule.
The player ended his dribble. It doesn't matter whether the player established a pivot foot while ending the dribble either. NFHS rules 4-44-3(b) and 4-44-4(a), as previously cited, both now say that the if the player then jumps to shoot, neither foot can return to the floor before that player shoots or passes.
You have to distinguish between the actual end of the dribble and the jump to shoot. As written above by yourself, A1 jumped to shoot,
NOT to do a jump stop. And that's why it's traveling when he came down with the ball.
